WE print the memorial OF the executive
committee Of the National Drill, asking
Congress, by joint resolution, to authorize
the striking by the United States mint OF
one grand medal of honor and some nine
teen lesser medals, to be designed by the
War Department, and to be presented to
the successful competitors by the President
of the United States, or by such representa-
tive as he may delegate.
Senator Manderson, Of Nebraska, pre-
sented the memorial in the Sepate, and
Congressman Morrison in the House. In
both cases the memorial and accompany
ing documents were referred to the COM
mittee on military affairs.
BY the passage Of this joint resolution
Congress not only nationallzes the COM
petitiye drill, but awakens a deep interest
among the citizen soldery Of the several
states to join In competing for national
honois at Camp George Washington, which
inaugurates custom that will continue as
long as the volunteer national guard forms
the reserved force for the maintenance Of
law and the defense of the nation.

Half a Million People Petition for the
Blair Education Biil.

Petitions for the passage this session OF
the Blair education bill continue to pour
into Congress. They como from all portions
of all the states and territories. 1t is
estimated that over 10000 citizens large
portion Of whom are voters, have already
over their own signatures thus petitioned.
And still they come. This number is
swelled to more than half million II to
these are added, as should be, the members
Of the great national associations who
collectively as societies or organizations
have united in this request. Among these
are the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, the two great National
Teachers Associations, the Knights OF
Labor, many churches and missionary
societies. IL these petitions OF more than
half million citizens are ignored, political
disaster will overtake the parties In this
Congress who are responsible, the inditfer-
ent as well as the active opponents. This
is government Of maiorities; by the
tives, men are put in places of power on
committees and as presiding officers,
thereby to better facilitate transmitting the
will Of the majority into law. To take
advantage of such position to obstruct or
to willfully hold back matter from the
consideration of the whole House when
more than majority have several times
voted to consider 1t is usurpation Of
power that savors more Of monarchy than
a republic, and the man who attempts 1t Is
very short-sighted. Power is constantly
returning to the hands Of the people who
elect the man TO stay at home, who has put
his own individual will against that OF the
majority.

SENATOR sHERMAN,s DOCTRINE
The Democratic Administration Fall
ure - How the Republican Party
Would Benefit the Country.


ure - How the Republican Party
Would Benefit the Country.
Senator John Sherman, in his letter TO
the Young Republican Club OF New York,
says;
We are not in power to-day because we were
not united. II Is the division of Republicans
in New York that has made IL possible for the
Democratic party now to hold tho great oitice
tuoeessiiyely filled by Lincoln, Grant Hayes,
natural and almost inevitable result Of long
success OF power in great party. We have
tried change, and what has been the resnltY
!, discordant party unable to agree upon line
OF foreign or domestic policy, divided upon the
tarih, hopelessly at sea on all financial ques.
tions. obsequous in its foreign relations, dis
tinguished only for the marked prominence IL
has given to- confederate soldiers ia for
eien courts, aud now, with its term OF Office
hall spent, a House of Representatives, Demo-
cratic by large majority Is unable TO tornu'
late single measure of political Importance
President. His notions about civil service,
however sincere, are foebly formulated and
observed, and are leered at AMI derlded by his
party associates-not one of his recommenda-
tons supported He seems to have abandoned
the great American policy known rs the Mon
roe doctrine, and disc )urages or opposes the
efforts made by President Arthur to improve
and extend our commercial relations with
neighboring American republics.
. Surely the time has arrived when the Rspub-
lican party should assume again its great mis-.
sion. The time is opportune. Under the opsr'
alton Of laws placed upon the statute book by
Republican administrations taxes are so levied
as TO produce overilowing revenue without u
serious burden upon the people. We are at
liberty TO choose between reducing QUE
revenues or expending our surplus in great and
benefCent objects of national desire We can
combine the two lines OF public policy. We
could really reduce the tax on sugar, while
giving encouragement TO domestic production
In the form Of bounty. We could repeal or re-
dute all taxes that do not tend to encourage
and protect domestic production. We could
commence and establish n system ofcoast de.
lenses that will guard the great arteries of our
commerce. We could place our navy again In
a condition to be respected and renew our par.
ticipation in foreign commerce. We could
authorize our citizens to build new rou'es OF
communication across The continent aud pro
tect them In their rights We could with our
added strength and wealth give assistance and
encouragement to all the American republics
founded upon our example. We could make
suitable commercial arrangements with out
neighbor, the Dominion of Canada, aud thus
avoid oil future controversies about the right
of our people TO fish In American waters, and
in ths..way by gradual measures knit aud
mold the interests and desires of our neighb)rs
with our own.

THO seno,e-rhe robacco Tax.


The President has vetoed the pension
bill. The administration admits that the
annual surplus in the treasury will be from
$4,000, ,OOO to 800, 900 900. The House OF
Representatives, under the constitution,
must originate all revenue bills. The pres
ent House, however, is largely Democratic,
yet Republicans and some Democrats, ag-
gregating nearly two.thlrd vote, are in
favor OF removing the war tax from tobacco.
\ Democratic speaker gags the House aud
prevents the removal Of this tax. This war
tax in time OF peace is an outrage upon the
farmers of the tobacco growing states. 1t
is the only direct tax upon farm products.
To the poor man tobacco has become q
necessity as much as coffee and sugar.
A Republican Congress and President
LEVIED the tax, only justified by the neces-
stiles Of war. The cause has been removed.
The treasury of the United States is now
gorged with money derived from an over
taxed people, especially from revenues o5-
tained from the use of what are termed
necessaries of life, made SO by habit.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, calls upon a
Republican Senate to grapple with this
question. 1t has one opportunity to do so.
Senator Malone, on the 2)th instant,
pointed out the way. 1t was not generally
known until the senator made his uuan-
swerable and exhaustive speech advocating
the removal of the tobacco tax that the
Senate had an opportunity to practically
deal with the question.
The finance committee Of the Senate, Of
which Senator Allison is chairman, will be
held responsible for failure or given the
credit for action in this matter. There is
no time for further delay. 1t will not do
for Republican Senate to pass the bill
during the last hours of the session. Tue
time for action is now. The finance con-
mittee should authorize Its charm,u to re-
port back to the Senate the House revenue
bill, now In their possession. with am and
ments, one of which should be the removal
Of the tobacco tax.
The country having been Informed by the
speech of Senator Mlhone that the Senate
had this opportunity to amend House
revenue b!ll, places unmistakably a grett
responsibility upon Republican Senate.
Any evasion or neglect will be noted by
the people and regarded as derellcton OF
duty second only to the crime OF usurpa-
tion by Speaker Carlisle against the rule Of
the majority OF the House of Representa-
tives.
The farmers of the tobacco states look to
Republican Senate for relief.
